indicate that the '"noble rod uk-ii" in

trying to nerpttrate one of their httle

The lews given the public to-day by
1 ur Capital ccrn'sjondenee relative to
the salt works there is cf the most cheer
ing character. It injures the success of
the salt urmuf icturing enterprise, and
settles the long mooted question of
whether there was more than surface
salt at the gn at I a-ins. Urine of such
great strength being found by Messrs.
Calm & Evans insures the finding of it
anywhere in that vicinity. The figures
hhown by our correspondent on solar
evaporation, and the great strength of
t he brine, thews thi to be the most val
uable gait interest in the United State.
Mc-.-rs. Cahn & I! van will undoubtedly
r-.rti.zs an imiueu.se fortune from the
ui:i:iu'':' ture of salt, as thoy have aleao
for a term cf twenty years to a section
of land. Tiiis liberal lease was given
them as a bonus lor sinking a well, and
the success they have met injures not

rampage, and Ji-lorts his doll hal y faca
and rose-bed mouth in trying to say
things about us. lie uses such "un-j-retty

editorial courtesy. Now, Billy boy,
don't woik yourself up to a lever heat,

spoils your good looks. You should bear
